Mt. Stephen Trilobite Beds — photo spot in Columbia-Shuswap, BC V0A 1L0, Canada
Mt. Stephen Trilobite Beds
Exposed Cambrian rock slabs bearing in-situ trilobite fossils at the base of Mt. Stephen offer rare close-up paleontological subjects and textured geological landscapes. Visit Yoho National Park with a park pass; fossils are protected—no collecting or touching. Best light: soft overcast or early/late day to avoid harsh reflections on rock surfaces. Access is a short interpretive walk from the Mt. Stephen parking area near Field, BC; weekend summer crowds peak, shoulder seasons are quieter.
